Upper GI

[Guest guest]

I have a little panic going on here....

Due to a life of skin problems...I do not have beautiful skin...I have many

scars (this is not from doing things to myself, but because I'm a slow healer

and had problems as a child with it)and as an adult am very self conscious.

Anyhow...because of this...when I called today about my upper GI to find out

what to wear since I most likely won't fit in their gowns, the gal made the

comment that i'd be taking off my bra and top anyway. Now I'm in a full blown

panic attack. I don't want anyone looking at me. Has anyone had this test done?

Is there a reason we have to remove our bra even? If I can at least have that

I'd probably be okay...I just am extrememly sensitive and that plus my panic

attacks are horrible combinations. I know I'm going to have problems right

before surgery but figured I'd just have my meds and that I'd talk to Dr B the

night before...he'll know and help me. I am going to get thru this. Anyhow...

what do I do. I am in a state of panic right now...lik!

e a possum caught in headlights. I really don't even need it because the only

reason he wanted it because my dr put me on a med to help give me more

ammunition for my insurance...I would be beyond shocked to find out I had an

ulcer or hyatal? hernia. Anyhow...can anyone give me anything that will calm me

down...I feel so silly...but I've been overweight for so long and have such a

complex now that this is major stuff to me..

Thanks
